A few important steps
Pilgrimages 2024: March 28 - September 14 - November 24
For March 28, we have been informed of a bus departing from Grenoble, see the "Pilgrimages" tab.
Since April 2022, the site has been permanently open for prayer, but following the request of the Curé de Dozulé, on April 19 the reception chalet was demolished by deacon Laurent and 2 helpers, in the presence of the Curé, and on April 23 the prayer chalet was dismantled to avoid its demolition.
Daily prayer takes place at the foot of the Cross, in all weathers, at 2.30pm and 2pm on the first Friday of the month.
On March 28, 2022, the 50th anniversary pilgrimage of the apparition of the Glorious Cross took place at the "Haute Butte" in Dozulé. Despite the closure of the Dozulé church, many pilgrims made their way to the "Haute Butte".

Year 2020
Covid 19 Since June 2, 2020 , the Croix Glorieuse site has been open at the usual times, but with restrictions to comply with government health regulations (distances to be kept, masks recommended for groups, etc.).
The pilgrimage on March 28 and 29, 2020, did not take place, but over a hundred well-known people from all over the country were able to pray at 3 p.m. in association with M.H., who represented us at La Butte.
The site was closed during the spring confinement and reopened in May 2020, so the March 28 pilgrimage did not take place. The September 14 pilgrimage for the Feast of the Glorious Cross took place, while the November 22 pilgrimage for the Feast of Christ the King did not take place due to confinement.
